Does anyone know where I can get glitter paint for furniture?

I have seen some furniture done like this and would like to attempt it myself.

But i can't find it anywhere. I have tried Rust-Oleum glitter spray but this turned out to be a clear lacquer with glittery bits in it.

I want full on sparkly glitter. Any ideas.

yup, I can see that. You get that effect by coating the bits of the item that you want glittered with PVA glue and then sprinkling on loose glitter. once its all dry then you paint over with pva glue again to seal the glitter in. Stunning effect but messy as hell.

Thanks, that may be an option. Not sure if it will go on wood but it's cheap so defo worth a try.

not enough glitter in it (I am a glitter expert) You could stir in extra glitter or buy something like this and stir it into paint clear brush on varnish.

okay can you use google? Open it in a different tab to AB. you put glitter furniture in the search box and press enter then look at the options at the top of the screen and one of them will be “images” click on that and you will get loads of pictures of glittery furniture. Click on the one you like and it will come up big with some options beside it. the second one will be view image. when you have been taken to the page with the image on then highlight the address and do copy.... come back to this thread and paste the copied link into your answer.
